Remember, most of these guys are not really musicians, just collectors of 'stuff' and they don't learn how to use anything. Without a price there is no value, no investment- they download, play for 20 minutes then download the next thing....when you can just have everything all at once it does nothing but waste your time.
it's 'cheaper' for me to pay for a subscription to YoutubePremium/Music than wasting my time surfing warez site looking for music.
the most precious commodity in the world is time.
also, i used to have lots of pirated software in the 'good old days'.
but i rarely used them.
now that i pay for my stuff, i'm a lot more motivated to actually use it.
